It seems there’s a holiday for just about everything. Today is “do something nice day.” We shouldn’t have to set just one day aside for that purpose. It should be part of our commitment as we walk our daily walk as Christians.
Doing good deeds are the result of God’s work in us – not in or of ourselves. As we become part of His family and the Holy Spirit enters our hearts through baptism, (a free gift, by the way) He also gives us the gift of doing things out of gratitude for what he’s done for us.
We’re in no way responsible for the good things we do. We’re naturally sinful and remain so until our entrance into heaven, but when the Spirit lives in us, we’re capable of shedding our selfish nature and doing good for others. We’re able to become mirror images of our Savior in living lives of service to our God and our fellow man.
Our faith depends on our free will, repentance and God’s forgiveness. Our good works depends only on God’s love for us.
